Police say all three left Columbia on Jan. 7 in a 2006 beige or gold Dodge Stratus with paper tags. They were planning on taking Interstate 20 west to Shreveport, Louisiana so Brady could be dropped off there to pick up a truck he purchased. The other two were headed to Texas.

Relatives say they never arrived in Shreveport or Texas and haven't heard from them since. Police say repeated calls made by family members go straight to voice mail.

Brady S. Brown (DOB: 4-29-1963) along with his Uncle Eddie Lee Cobb, Junior (DOB: 6-27-1944) and family friend Ella Williams (DOB: 5-22-1960) were in Columbia on January 4, 2013 to attend a funeral.
